Hope no one wants any gifs making anytime soon.

You need to make a gif explaining the timeline, and at different stages of your understanding of it.

Zelda timeline is nothing compared to this madness.

I have to ask:

Super Smash Bros: Brawl? Subspace Emissary?
Pilotwings 64 (There's that Rushmore-style mountain)

Good luck.

I was playing The World Ends with You, and I noticed a hidden pot leaf outside of the Shibu-Q Heads store.

That reminds me (so, sry if old):
John DiMaggio (the voice of Bender in Futurama) has quite a lot of videogame-roles, too.
As a voiceactor that's obviously not surprising, but I still chuckle when I read his name in the credits or notice his voice (and think of Bender).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_DiMaggio#Video_games
CoD4, Riddick etc. is in there, but here are some of his main roles:

- Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy X-2 (Wakka, Kimahri)
- Final Fantasy XII (Migelo, Gilgamesh)
- Gears of War 1/2 (Marcus Fenix)
- Valkyria Chronicles (Jann, General Georg von Damon)

I always thought that Canadian Hip-Hop group Swollen Members ripped the main rif of their song 'Fuel Injected' from the 'Lava Lagoon' stage of Donkey Kong Country 2.

DKC2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jeNwh33BPk, listen from 0:18 onwards

I'm not a musician but now I know why I liked that song so much when it was popular in the late 90s...

GDJustin · (07-24-2009, 03:50 AM)

I lived in Foster City, CA for a couple years (the headquarters of SCEA). It's a very very small suburb of San Francisco with a really small-town feel, so I always though it was weird sony had a big office here.

I always wondered where their office was, when I realized I drove by an office building every day that had a small "Sony" sign out front - not flashy at all. Took me months to notice.

I took a look at the building number and it was 989 Hillsdale.

My reaction? o.0

Far from mind-blowing, but there's a blatant Devil Jin artwork rip-off from T5: DR in there.

Mario characters cameo in some Kirby games. Make sure you explain those. Dreamland 3 also has those weird creepy Kirby clones. Maybe you can explain those with time travel or alternate dimensions or something. And if ever one of those universes becomes inconvenient, you could just say Kirby ate it...?

And where does Kirby get Link's hat from whenever he uses the sword? Is it possible that Kirby is the ultimate, final incarnation of Link at the end of the Zelda timeline?

Far be it from my intention to be defending what looks like could be one of the worst movies ever made, but black wings aren't exactly something that was first introduced in Tekken.

This is the second time I've seen that pic and I couldn't figure out why black wings on a dude were worth noting

The chain on his left (right) leg gives it away. They did edit the horns out and darken it a lot, but it's very visible.

Another [probably commonly known] VG fact:

In The Legend of Zelda The Wind Waker, some of the islands represented locations from The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time.

The Forest Haven island, for instance, is connected to Kokiri Forest. Signified by the presence of the Deku Tree, and the music which is very similar: Forest Haven Theme, Kokiri Forest Theme.

Additionally, Windfall Island is connected to Kakariko village. The comparisons are a bit more rough on this one, but the music has its similar points if you listen to both closely: Windfall Island Theme, Kakariko Village Theme.

There are other obvious connections to Ocarina of Time, but I won't go into those as I assume just about everyone knows about them.

Jasoco · (07-25-2009, 11:52 AM)

I don't know how I never noticed that. Especially the Deku Tree one.

Seriously? I believe the game also implies the bird folk evolved from the zoras.

Oli · (07-25-2009, 10:46 PM)

Here's another snippet.

Not sure if this is 100% confirmed, but apparently the name Pikmin does not come from the obvious relation to "Pick Men". Rather, the name came from Miyamoto's dog, Pikku.

Another shaky fact is that the Metroid series is loosely inspired by the Alien movies. Evidenced by the female heroin and the series regular boss Ridley, aka Ridley Scott.

I recently heard him as Jack in Madworld and Super Joe in Bionic Commando. He does tons of games - doesn't help that he has such a recognisable voice. :p

And yeah, pretty much the same here.
I thought the Deku Tree was kind of a giveaway..

That's not a "shaky" fact, it was confirmed by Gumpei Yokoi (Metroid's creator).

sn00zer · (07-26-2009, 08:47 PM)

Woah after a half a year of waiting to get approved I can finally post this
Both the Soul Calibur series and Tekken series are in the same universe, although tekken takes place hundreds of years in the future, besides the obvious (Yoshimitsu) there is an awesome easter egg in Tekken 5

Tekken 5:

Soul Calibur 2:

the "Pirate's Cove" stage is the same stage found in Soul Calibur 2, but after a hundred or so years of plundering

shaowebb · (07-27-2009, 10:48 PM)

Im not certain if anyone else ever noticed this but in Phantasy star iv: End of the millenium .
You run into dancing girls in a bar and the music changes in the town of hunters.
Does that music sound familiar to anyone?

Dancer Song Pao Pao
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sm1ETtbVWY
Fantasy Zone
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyqrEydoemU

Also the hero in Fantasy Zone's name is "Opa-Opa" which they rearranged to name the track Pao-Pao in PS4.
